That may be partly my mistake.

There is something funny going with gedit with XIM tools such as SCIM 
and UIM.

After carefully re-reading, I think there may be 2 separate issues with
gedit which may or may not be related.

I do not see any issues like Mr. Hongzheng Wang reported in my system
now.  I am now switched back to SCIM via XIM.  But, at least,  Mr.
Hongzheng Wang had problem.

I have set up another account with UIM via XIM.  There, gedit freeze is
real.  It freezes with shift key alone.

I do not know if the bug is in 
 * gedit
 * XIM tool sets (UIM and SCIM)
 * libx11

At least bugs exist somewhere there.
